A ruthenium(II) polypyridyl-BODIPY dyad is presented which exhibits a solvent switchable dual emission. Intense oxygen sensitive emission from the ruthenium centre and O-2 independent emission from the BODIPY centre, are both observed in organic media. In aqueous media, the BODIPY emission is reversibly switched off leaving only a ruthenium centred emission. The materials are interesting both as self-referenced O-2 probes and for cell/tissue imaging.
